FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
358 AM AKDT Tue May 14 2024
.DISCUSSION...The upper level low that was over Southcentral
yesterday will exit quickly across the Gulf of Alaska today.
Weak upper level disturbances behind the low combined with
somewhat weaker instability will produce isolated to scattered
showers today. Showers will be a bit more numerous to the north
of the Wrangell Mountains. A ridge of high pressure will build
into Southcentral on Wednesday. Expect marginally warmer and
drier conditions inland, while stronger sea breezes will lead
to slightly cooler/moister conditions along the coast. The
Copper River Valley looks particularly dry, with a southerly
wind helping to mix down drier air from aloft.
